An in-depth exam of IoT, IoT Core Components, IoT Layers, and Attack Types

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a global network of devices that can communicate with each other through different communication protocols and have the ability to detect and process data. Since the Internet of Things connects electronic devices to the Internet for efficient examination and execution of daily activities, it has a seriously positive effect on human life. These devices use some communication protocols to communicate with each other. The selection of these communication protocols is of great importance. The data obtained from these smart devices are stored with the help of cloud technology. These stored data reveal the concept of big data. The processing and analysis of these data are of great importance. Machine learning methods are of great importance in processing this large amount of data. In this study, IoT, the basic components of the IoT, layer structure, security attacks are examined.

A Critical Cybersecurity Analysis and Future Research Directions for the Internet of Things: A Comprehensive Review

“…Replay Attack [41][42][43] When a malicious user falsely delays or retransmits a secure network message to trick the intended recipient into performing the hacker's desired action, this is known as a replay attack. Several types of replay attacks can be used against IoT devices, including authentication replay attacks, session hijacking replay attacks, and encrypted data replay attacks.…”

Cost-Effective Signcryption for Securing IoT: A Novel Signcryption Algorithm Based on Hyperelliptic Curves

“…This layer holds significant importance as it facilitates the development of diverse applications utilized across various industrial and educational sectors e.g., smart cities, industry automation, agriculture, health care, and big data processing, which increases its significance [18]. The IoT framework does not adhere to any international standards; due to this, the application layer can suffer from several attacks [19]. In this layer, the attacker targets the running IoT system software, i.e., remote health monitoring software etc and gains access to the sensitive data by exploiting the software [20].…”
